After the House's swift vote, President Bush chided the senate to follow suit.

"The temptation is going to be for the Senate to load it up. We need to get this bill out of the Senate and on my desk so the checks can get in the hands of our consumers and our businesses can be sure of the incentives necessary to make investments," Bush said.

Congressional leaders and the White House want the bill to be on the President's desk by February 15. And each day it's tied up in the Senate would likely cause a delay in getting those checks out.
